is one who grows, without in
terruption of health, from a
baby up except the inevitable
diseases of children.
And Scott's emulsion of cod-
liver oil has done more, in the
26 years of its existence, than
any half-dozen other things, to
make such children.
It keeps them in uninterrupt
ed health. It is food that
takes hold at once, whenever
their usual food lets go.

Washington Letter.
Wahiiinotom, D. C. Feb. 3, 1902.
The laat and most brilliant ol the
card reception! ot the season took place
at the White House on Thursday eve
ning when the officers of the army and
ol the navy paid their respects to their
president as commander in chief, his
wife and hia official family. The decora
tions were artistic and appropriate.
The flag was seen everywhere. The east
room was paiticulurly martial in its
appearance, the windows being cur
tained with immense ibanners, the pil
lars wrapped with them and a niasa of
bunting arranged about the great chan
delier, producing a pretty canopy effect.
The ample folds of the flags were caught
with ropes of emilax and mantels and
fireplaces were banked with red and
white azaleas. The long corridor was
bung with flans of the president, the
admiral of the navy, the fecrotariea of
the ai my and navy, etc.
The receiving line was aborter than
usual Including, in addition to the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt, Meedamee
Root, Hitchcock, Payne and Knox.
Mrs. Roosevelt was most becomingly
attired in turquoise blue, a ciamon
necklace and a blue aigrette completing
her costume. The dashing full dress
uniforma of the officers added brilliancy
to the scene and the officers ol the Ger
man ship Mollke, who were accom
panied by the German ambassador,
added variety to the effect.
Rear Admiral Robloy I). Evan) was
among the first of the aaval officers in
the line and Mr. Roosevelt'a greeting
which unfortunately I failed to catch,
caused a ripple of laughter to extend
down the receiving iiue. General and
Mrs. Miles arrived late and much specu
lation waa indulged in aa to the proba
bility of their attendance. The meeting
between the president and the genera)
appeared to me to be aa cordial aa was
that between Mr. Roosevelt and any
other officer. Notwithstanding the
number of heroes present no uerson
received more attention than Mrs
George vandetbilt who waa present
with her husband and whoBC striking
beauty was most effectively set off by
magnificent gown of white brocaded
satin trimmed with point laca. She
wore an ornament of diamonds and
rubiea which waa greatly admired.
Another young lady who attracted much
attention waa Miss Koto, the young
Japanese girl who baa come to this
country to complete her education. She
was present with the Japanese Minister
and Madam Takahira and wore her
native costume, and had a white
chrysanthemum in her hair.
After the reception Dr. Von Hollenben
and Madame Von Kubeur Patch witz
wife of the naval and military attache of
the German embassy gave a reception
lollowed bv dancing in honor of the
officers and cadeti of the Moltke which
waa attended by Mies Roosevelt and
other ladies of the cabinet circle, and
many of the American officers who bad
been seen earlier at the White House,
The leading social event of the coming
week will be the marriage of Mist Helen
Hay and Mr. Payne Whitney which
will take place at high noon on Thurs
day next. Later will come the cotillion
for the young people at the White llouae
on the evening of the lltu instant, am!
then society will turn its attention to the
coming of Prince Henry. The itinerary
ol the latter has been completed and
officially announced. It will include
atops, some ol them very brief, at
Annapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, Nasli-
liatening to appeals tor appointment
which Mr. Rod declares is moat em
birraesing to the commissioners and
wasteful of thoir time. He declares
that bundreda of appeals are filed for
every vacancy and ha feela confident
that not only the commissioners but the
senalora and representatives would be
greatly relieved were the officers ot the
district placed within the classified
service.
An amusing incident happened Satur
day at the capitol. The chairman of the
committee appointed to receive Admiral
Schley at Nashville wired Congressmen
Gaines asking information in regard to
the proper salute. Mr. Gainea posted
himself at the navy department and
wired back a aalute of thirteen guna with
two rufllea and nourishes, the rulllea and
flourishes referring to the part per
formed by the drums and trumpets.
The chairman, however, did not under
s'and and Wired back "Please tell tia
what you mean by rulllua and flourishes.
We are not up on lingerie."

Most of the work of congress during
the past tk has been dona in com
mittee. The house ot representatives
ha passed a bill providing for a per
manent centus bureau and the senate
hat enacted a measure pmvi ling for
the establishment of a department ot
commerce and labor. The wave and
means committee has determined to
report a lull abolishing the special war
revenue tases occasioned by the Hpanisb
war. Nothing definite has been done
in regard to the Philippine tariff measure
which atill lies oil the senate desk as
unfinished business. The question ol
reciprocal relations with Cuba remains
statu uo, the republicans having
framed no measure and tb democrats
awaiting republican action.
At Friday's cabinet meeting the
president assured bis advlora that he
waa unshaken in his contention for
25 per cent reduction of the tariff on
Cuban lugar and tobacco. He also
issued a sweeping order regarding the
use ot influence to secure increases of
salaries bv government employes. He
postively prohibits the solicitation of an
increaae ol par either directly or in
directly, individually or through associa
tiona and any attempt to influence in
their own interest any other legislation
whatever, either belor congress or it
committee, under the penalty ol dis
missal from the government service
The order if enforced, is likely to work

Hundred of wild horses atampeded
In terror over hill and plain, one day
lately, pursued by a bund ol mount
ed ranchmen, urtfiug their mount to
the utmoMt, aud now and then taking
a shot at one ot the lleelng animuia.
The mustnnir hunt waa ou. Ranch
men from nil over norinwesvurn
Arizona nnd aouthweiitern Utah, with
some from Nevada pothered at Pipe
Spring-, Aria. The smrt waa made aa
soon aa the ami first began to show
itself over tho Kanab mountaine.
Two score men, mounted on the beat
horses at their command and up
ulied with relnya to enable them to
keep up the pursuit, started, anya a
Kunub (L'tuh) apcciul to the Chicago
Tribune.
Although th mustang leldom
miilto a vicious fight, tber 1 no
keener aport than a mustang hunt.
The only hunt of the kind on record
in this locality was two years ago.
Then 300 nnitan(r were shot and
1,5(10 captured, anil Indications are
Unit this record will be surpassed.
The animals ure believed to hava
sprung from the horses owned by the
victiniH of the Mountain Meadow
massacre in 18.17. When the party
waa attacked a large number of the
horses escaped. For nearly half
century they have been breeding on.
the ranges of this region, mingling
with the stray Indian ponies aud ea
enped horses formerly belonging to
cowmen, and multiplying at a pro
digious rate. So nuineroua have they
become that they have been eating
up the none too rich range of this)
section. Hence the determination la
work their destruction.
I'niler the leadership of Mathoniahl
Miles, one of the principal ranchmen ot
this region, the hunters started on thetn
quest. The inrty- spread out so a
to cover a wide stretch of ground.
After nearly an hour had been spent
iu uneventful travel the form of a
big Htulllon wua seen. George Mil
ton, a cowman and an expert shot,
opened fire. The stallion whirled and
darted off. He waa the aentinel for
a drove. The others, 60 or more,
could be seen and heard aa the
scampered after him. The race
wim on.
For miles the chnse waa kept up,
only a hulf dor.cn of the hunters following-
Finally a colt dropped out
esliniisted. Its mother Joined her
offspring to defend It. Two of the
hnnters approached the mare and
her foul. The mother charged upon
them, but a lariat was looped about
er fore feet, kIio Htunibled and fell
to the ground. Tho colt was quickly
oped, nnd both were tied to a rock.
Presently the mustangs swerved to
he right.
They were coining Into a broken
country. Ihe steepness of tho ground
mpeded their progress. Hut the
hnuge in direction soon led them
nto a trap. 1 Itey were driven Into
a cuuvon. A third or the way up the
Ide was a ledge running parallel
with the bottom of the canyon and
affording practically I lie only course
where travel was possible. They
lunged madly along thia ledgo. The
luutera were still aoiue distance
away, although In plain sight of tho
mustangs.
Presently the leader stopped. II
tad roine to a deep gorge. Above
11 ail below were precipices. In front
was this gtiri,'o, 'JO feel wide and 30
lecp. lleliiuil were the pursuer. Ha
lipid. Ills forefeet caught th
ther side. He scrambled madly for
oouple of sccondo, but a final ef
fort enabled hlin to regain his foot
hold, and he stood Irhiiiipliant. Then
another tried the leap. His forefeet
caught, but ha fell backward to th
rocks Ih-Iow. Another and another
llovved. Not a member of th
Irove fulled to make the attempt,
Three slice. 'tiled. Tim rest fell upon
the rocks below.
The king of tho drove turned and
the other iiiiMtnngs who were safe
joined him. They saw the hunters
criming, aud turned and esenped. The
little party of hunters uuine to the
edge of thu gorge utid counteid 2H
rscs 011 the rocks hslow, liulleta
soon put au end to this mlsury of the
living.
Meanwhile the other hunters hud
broken up into small parties and
number of them had run Into bunchos
of horses. Home had been oorrulled,
some shot, and some lassoed. More
had esrnpeil.
It wiis estimated that 11X1 mustangs
had been disposed of In one way or
another.

WUY MOT THS BOYS?
Tb officer of an Ohio orphan asylu m
recently atated thatithey had no trouble
to find good home for the orphan girls
in their charge, but that it waa im- '
possible to find home for all oi the
boy. Only the exceptionally band
tome or bright boy la desird for
adoption. A one of the officers
concisely stated it. "Boy are not
appreciated."
Isn't tkla true in city, town and
country? Our girl are going to school
and college, even whan their parent are
far from wealthy. But the brother of
mor than two-third of these girl are
doing job aronnd town, ot working for
day wages. True, they arn something
in tbl way for Ihtmaelve or their
parant. But if the good of th boys
were to b consulted, the parent ought
rather to have lived on bread and water,
and worn patches three deep, than to
handicap tbelr son, with lack ol a
good education. Why shouldn't boys
have a chance to rise In the world as
well aa girls?
Mothers watch carefully after their
amall daughter. They let them
associate with no rough or foul-mouthed
gtrla. Isn't it true that many ol these
same mother allow their young son to
play by th hour with boy that awesr
and uae filthy worda, or beys that are
lazy, or even Incipient thieve and
drunkards?
Isn't it true that father itand by and
hear without protest th obscene tales
of other men, tale told before their half
grown lads? Had it been the' boy's
lister that were present, these same
lather would have thrashed the narra
tor soundly for "trying to besmirch a
girl' innocence." Evidently a boy's
Innocence doe not count with them.
Isn't it a fact, that if some of the
young ladies ol our acquaintance abould
be enticed into a saloon, ami ther
made drunk, that our indignation would
all good men and
women would contain against the
saloon, and "smoke it out" by righteous
wrath? No one think that it make
much difference when it 1 our young
men.
Why not protect the boy? Isn't he
worth saving a wall a the girl? Ita
laxy man a more edifying eight than a
lazy woman? I an oath in a man'
mouth lea blasphemous than in a
woman'? Ia a man drunkard cleaner
and better than a woman drunkard?

not the boy? By Lora 8. La Mance.
